    #SHN x EMMA: Katse näkyvyyden politiikkaan – keskustelu vallasta, representaatioista ja ennakkoluuloista

    Osana #StopHatredNow 2024 ohjelmaa, EMMAssa järjestettiin paneelikeskustelu vallasta, representaatioista, ennakkoluuloista sekä näkyvyyden politiikasta keskiviikkona 15.5.2024. Keskustelemassa Päiviö Maurice Omwami ja Wanda Holopainen. Moderaattorina Monica Gathuo. #StopHatredNow on viikon mittainen, kerran vuodessa järjestettävä interkulttuurinen ja antirasistinen tapahtuma-alusta, joka luo uutta diskurssia moninaisuudesta. Usean taide- ja kulttuuriorganisaation yhteistyönä toteuttama tapahtuma rakentaa positiivisessa hengessä keskustelua diversiteetistä, inklusiivisuudesta, valtarakenteista, toiseudesta, sekä intersektionaalisista feministisistä strategioista. Inklusiivisuus, moninaisuus, syrjimättömyys, saavutettavuus ja sosiaalinen ja ekologinen kestävyys ovat jokaisen taide- ja kulttuuri-instituution tulevaisuutta määrittäviä kysymyksiä.

The project is funded by Nordic Culture Point and produced by UrbanApa in collaboration with HAUT, MDT, CODA and Black Box Theater. The panelists: Yong Sun Gullach, Vala T.
